CWL fans can normally catch Jess during an Instant Reaction with players after their matches. She asks a number of questions to players and then finishes off with his signature fist pump. Players time and time again have followed her every move. When Jess extends her hand out, it’s met with a fist pump from the players. Typically this gesture would be overlooked, as it has for many Instant Reactions. What’s the point of keeping your eyes on such a little detail like this?

Slacked Had Other Plans

After Luminosity’s win over Excelerate Gaming, Jess Brohard brought Slacked from Luminosity at center stage for an Instant Reaction. Jess was asking her regular questions, and Slacked was answering them as players do during this segment. Everything was going as planned until Slacked decided to throw a curve ball.

As Jess normally extends her hand out to fist bump, Slacked actually had an open hand. It was the clash of the hand gestures and who was going to win? With a slight pause, Slacked wasn’t going to budge. It seemed like we we’re watching an intense Chess Championship finals, unable to guess the other ones move.

Finally, Jess switched to shake Slacked’s hand and the segment ended. Although most viewers probably didn’t think anything of it, the CWL hardcore fans noticed that this was a rare occurrence. The Fist bump master Jess didn’t give props? What was going on? As silly as that sounds, the CWL Panel also took notice.

Katie pointed this whole ordeal when cameras went back to the panel. They decided to poke a little fun out of the situation and even do an instant slow reply of what happened, which of course was hilarious. It was all fun and games, and a wise man once said, ‘only gentleman shake hands”. Slacked was just being a gentleman and in the end everyone had a nice laugh.
